Bruce Blakeman, the Republican nominee for New York governor, posted an “AI”-generated video imagining New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul hanging out, bizarrely gardening together, riding bikes, and vaguely colluding about making the state unaffordable.
Anyone who is genuinely fooled or influenced by that video should not be allowed to vote. If they aren’t capable of handling such low levels of propaganda, they aren’t equipped to make informed votes.
Of course, this would also be solved by banning the use of such methods for creating political ads.
And who exactly gets to decide who is too stupid to vote?
Me. Send me a home video and I pick based on vibes. If it’s genAI, you get executed.
Couldn’t be much worse. Fuck it, I’m in
Accepting my flawed judgements puts you (and everyone else) on pretty thin ice.
Watch. Your. Step.
